Authenticate This Balenciaga

[Vlad]

IMPORTANT READ-ME

Please see post #1 for complete Balenciaga authentication rules. All requests must be posted in this thread. Authentications are not done via private message or in any other thread.

See the link below for examples of the photos needed and the format they should be in (clear, close up, forward-facing, no angles, right way up, no bends in tags).

https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/required-pics-for-balenciaga-authentication.741442/

A link to the listing in question is required.

It is an authenticator’s right to ignore a request that is not in the proper format. If the listing you are interested in is missing photos it is your responsibility to request them from the seller prior to posting in this thread.

Thanks and be well!

Bal Authenticators,

I’m admittedly not great at the newer models. Can someone take a look at this Le Cagole clutch and let me know if this is a 👍 or 👎?

If any additional pics are needed, please let me know!

Hello brilliant authenticators! I'd love to know your opinion re: the authenticity of this city bag I recently purchased from Fashionphile. I've attached additional photos taken by me today. Two things that feel a bit off to me: (1) the color of the hardware (it's *extremely* yellow and almost cheap looking, but I've only owned classic HW up until this point, so I'm not sure if this is how the giant GHW is supposed to look?); and (2) the "made in italy" stamp is rather crooked, which hasn't been an issue with any of my other bal bags. Please let me know if any additional photos are needed! Thank you so much!!!

It's authentic. Bal gold hardware is pretty in your face. It looks more muted in the FP listing because they manipulate the crap out of their listing photos. Even the leather looks deeper/darker in the photos. They do that on purpose.

Thank you so much -- I really appreciate your insight!

I had a cigar fonce Pom Pon once upon a time and it was very saturated.

Hello authenticators - Could you please authenticate this Hamilton Velo for me? I bought it a few weeks ago and everything looked good BUT the color code is 6460 = Pearly Red. I found a photo of another Pearly Red bag and it looks nothing like mine. It doesn't look like my bag was repainted. If it is authentic, what color is this? Thank you!

Comment description says "Balenciaga City Bag in Fall/Winter 2008 Black Cherry. Pre-loved.” I don't think that that tag is consistent with the description. Not sure if the seller is just mistaken since they bought it preloved, or it's a fake. I've been communicating via "make an offer" and they have sent me additional pictures if needed.
